Great movie--especially the payoff scene. How refreshing

thing.

And there was even a sailing scene in it, although the
''sailor'' showed all the ineptness of a Boobspit.

A government that is big enough to give you all you want is big enough
to take it all away.
Barry M. Goldwater

A supremely brilliant man, Goldwater. None, sadly, have come close
since.


Do you know Goldwater also said:

"I haven't really got a first class brain"

His brilliance was that he relied on principles to guide him and was
remarkably consistent in applying them, especially in the world of
politics. Reagan, too, was guided by principles, also lacking "a
first class brain".

Men with first class brains, such as Bill Clinton, John Kerry and
Hillary Clinton are completely devoid of consistent principles and lack
the tools necessary for true leadership. They rely on cunning to get
them to the next step.


Goldwater was the greatest. I have two autographed photos of him here
at my desk as well as other memorabilia. I even have a "Goldwater for
President" bumper sticker on my truck.

I wish another one like him would come along.

Another did--Dan Quayle--who, too, did not have a first-class brain, and
he paid for it many times over.


Upon receiving a can of "Goldwater" from an ardent supporter, he tasted
it and said:

"This tastes like ****. I wouldn't drink it with gin!"

Only once in several lifetimes...

Only once in *our* lifetimes, sadly. You are right about principle vs.
brilliance + cunning. I'll take principle any day. Bush has neither.

Max,

You're a good man. I owe you a few beers.

I like Dan Quayle and wished he ran for President, I would have easily
voted for him. When Clinton was elected, he actually said that if Clinton
would do what he said he would do, things wouldn't be so bad. To actually
think for himself and not toe party line shows he has guts.

Quayle was another victim of the liberal smear. His Senate colleagues,
some on the left side of the aisle, were known to praise him for being
consistent and true to his principles. He was a very poor
speaker--hesitating, mispronouncing words, using occasional words
inappropriately--but he was a pragmatic conservative who never wavered
from his beliefs in order to please anyone. It's tragic that a young man
of principle should be discarded, while the slick politician with no
detectable principles pleases the electorate sufficiently to be elected.
I guess we get what we deserve.

You don't owe me any beer, but I'd enjoy sitting down with you and
drinking a few.

Max

Here's a toast to Dan Quayle.

It's funny, those most ill suited to be politicians are generally the best
fit to hold elected office.

Ever hear of Ron Paul of Texas? Even Joe has never heard of him.

Amen!

She wouldn't have waited as long as Julia Robert's character did.

As a sailor, I found that scene embarrassing.

The most embarrassing sailing scene ever was in that chick flick
"message in a bottle" (I think that's the title, trying to foreget
that movie). Guy is supposed to be a pro yet makes every mistake in
the book. At the end, wife is all teary eyed and I'm thinking who
wrote this pap.

Maybe we should grade all the movies with gratuitous sailing
scenes...like the Hunter in Bruce Willis' The Jackal...or the
Harrison Ford movie that featured JFK's daysailor? (can't remember
the name of the film...)
